Answer every patient
An AI receptionist for your medical office that answers every call
Your AI front desk picks up in your practice’s name, day and night. It answers questions, checks insurance, books into your EHR and passes anything clinical to your team.
15 min · no commitment · HIPAA-compliant
Every unanswered call is a patient who books elsewhere
Your front desk checks patients in, answers the phone, chases insurance and does the paperwork at the same time. At the busiest hours calls go to hold or voicemail, and after 5 pm nobody picks up.
New patients rarely leave a message. They call the next practice on the list.
- Calls on hold while the desk checks someone in
- Voicemail after hours and at lunch
- Website chats nobody answers

Questions practice owners ask
What is an AI medical receptionist?
Software that answers your practice’s phone, chat and texts like a trained front desk: it answers questions, checks insurance and books appointments, and passes anything it should not handle to your staff.
Can a patient still reach a person?
Yes. During office hours it transfers to your team whenever a patient asks or your rules say so. After hours it takes the details and your team calls back.
What happens with urgent or clinical calls?
It follows your rules. Emergencies are told to call 911, urgent calls go to your on-call provider, and clinical questions go to your team. It never gives medical advice.
Do we have to change our phone number?
No. Calls forward to Tely when you choose: after hours, when the lines are busy, or all the time.
Does it work with my EHR?
Yes. Tely books into the EHR or scheduler you already use, including Epic, athenahealth, Tebra and DrChrono.
What does the AI front desk cost?
It depends on your call and chat volume and how many locations it answers for. Ask us on a short call.
